[Intro]
Am  F    C   G

[Verse 1]
Am                          
Maybe you don't like talking 
           F
too much about yourself
    C                           
but you shoulda told me that you 
                     G
were thinking 'bout someone else.
       Am                       
You're drunk at a party or maybe
                     F
 it's just that your car 
broke down;
     C                            
your phone's been off for
 a couple
                       G
 of months, so, you're calling 
me now.

[Pre-Chorus]
Am                        F
  I know you, you're like   this:
     C                 
when shit don't go your
                G
 way you needed me to fix it.
Am               F
  And like me, I   did,
    C                 
but I ran out of every
    G           G  
 reason.

[Chorus]
                     Am     
Now, suddenly you're asking
                 F
 for it back 
and could you tell me,
  C                         G
 where'd you get the nerve?
Yeah, you could say you
  Am                     F
 miss all that we had
                   C    
but I don't really care
                 G
 how bad it hurts.
                  Am    
when you broke me first,
 F              C         G
   you broke me first.

[Verse 2]
Am                         
Took a while, was in denial 
      F
when I first heard
     C                       
that you moved on quicker than
                       G
 I could've ever. You know that hurt.
Am                             
Swear for a while I would stare
                     F
 at my phone just to see your name
    C                   
but now that it's there, 
                             G
I don't really know what to say.

[Pre-Chorus]
Am          
  I know you, 
              F
you're like   this:
     C                     
when shit don't go your way
            G
 you needed me to fix it.
Am               F
  And like me, I   did,
    C                 
but I ran out of every
    G      G   
 reason.

[End-Chorus]
Now, suddenly you're 
 Am                      F
asking for it back
and could you tell me,
  C                         G
 where'd you get the nerve?

Yeah, you could say you
 Am                     F
 miss all that we had
                   C   
but I don't really care
                  G
 how bad it hurts.
                  Am    
when you broke me first,
 F              C         G
   you broke me first,
             Am    
you broke me first, 
 F              C         G
  you broke me first.
